PMT and Agnus Castus

[missy81]

Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this question.

Since the birth of my son 9 months ago I've been suffering with terrible PMT. It is now affecting my family life and I desperately need help.

A week or so before my period I feel like I have a huge ball of venom in my stomach and will explode at the littlest things. Last week I was so frustrated and angry that I actually hit myself. I now have a big bruise on my face and have had to lie about how I got it, can't talk to anybody as I feel so ashamed about my behaviour.

It's now affecting my life as a wife and a mother, I'm very impatient with my children and husband and I have no inclination to do any housework before my period so the house is a tip which makes my mood worse!

I've read that Agnus Castus is a 'miracle cure' has anybody used this for PMT rage with success?

I tried Agnus Castus for PCOS years ago, but I didn't get much PMS then so I can't comment.

A few years ago I had quite bad PMS for a couple of days before my period and I was recommended Shatavari and it helped a lot. I don't take it any more as the PMS seems to have subsided again.

Thank you, I'll look into Shatavari. I'm hoping that the Symptoms will subside and that it's just my body settling down after giving birth.
